Yep, they get the credit on this one.
I shouldn't be as surprised as I am about Al Franken's support for PIPA. Yes he's smart and critical-minded, but he's also deep into the content industry machinery.

I started pestering him on twitter (since my Senators are a no and an undecided). It's so hard to write provocatively in 140 characters._________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.

Remember that these people are likely not suffering under a misconception, they're looking out for their campaign donations. Don't spell out a well-researched reason for PIPA being bad. A simple "You vote for PIPA, I vote for your replacement" will suffice.

I don't vote for Franken (although he doesn't know that). However, for the most part I agree. I told Patty Murray's office that they needed to come out against PIPA or I'd just stop voting in the Senate races and volunteering for her campaigns. They didn't seem to care (it's a staffer/volunteer who's probably heard the same thing a thousand times). But we'll see what she does. She's said that protecting IP is "vital for the economy and jobs in Washington" but has "real concerns."

I'm getting sick of everything being touted as saving jobs. How does PIPA create or protect jobs? Hell, IP holders don't even need more lawyers - they don't even have to prove someone is infringing before they cut off their cash flow. Whose jobs are on the line with PIPA? Fucking buzzwords._________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.

Also, how did no one post this yet? Author of SOPA found to be using unattributed, copyrighted work on his campaign website. Better shut himself down!_________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.
